This is an old Arran site. Well an old bunch of Arran sites. But some recent deforestation has renewed my interest this year.
Clear felling across the Leac Gharbh hillside at North Sannox has exposed some of the remains of the tumbled cairns which were rumbled around by earth movers during the original conifer planting. Well worth a wander over to see the big exposed chamber on the on the slopes of Leac Gharbh overlooking the mouth of the North Sannox Burn.
Keep going uphill for a few more cairns and take a stretch on up to the stoney old hillfort on the hillside beyond. When you are at the hillfort if you take a direct line straight down (South) towards the North Sannox Burn, about halfway down you will stumble across a massive chambered cairn (about 25 feet by 35 feet). It sits in clear pasture. There were two chambers open to the elements in July this year.

It wasn't noticed until the late 1990's. I found a massive boulder with three clear cupmarks (in a triangular configuration) close by a few years back.
